00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're taking a look at the 10 Switch games we're most
00:16excited to play during the second half of 2024.
00:21Remember these games are games launching in 2024, so as much as we are hyped to see Metroid
00:28Prime 4, don't expect to see this game on the list.
00:32That game does look sick though.
00:42Before we begin, we publish new videos all week long, so be sure to subscribe to Mojo
00:46Plays and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos.
00:52Mario & Luigi Brothership
00:59When Alpha Dream closed its doors after filing for bankruptcy in 2020, it seemed like all
01:05was lost for the Mario & Luigi series.
01:08It has been 5 years since the remake of Bowser's Inside Story, and the 3DS titles Dream Team
01:14and Paper Jam didn't exactly set the world on fire.
01:18So really, Mario & Luigi hasn't had a stellar title since 2009 with the original Bowser's
01:24Inside Story.
01:26But it looks like Nintendo wants this series to have a second life, and Brothership seems
01:30like it'll be a worthy revival.
01:33From the cartoony visuals to the animated cutscenes to the combat, this looks like everything
01:39we could want from a new entry.
01:41Plus, this will be the first time a Mario & Luigi game has launched on a home console,
01:47and it will be out on November 7th, 2024.
01:56LEGO Horizon Adventures
02:05If you own a PlayStation 5, you most likely already know that LEGO Horizon Adventures
02:10will be released on that console.
02:12However, it is also launching on Nintendo Switch, and we want to recognize this.
02:17The game itself looks incredibly fun to play, and it seems like it will play similarly to
02:22the LEGO games from the mid to late 2000s.
02:25But what's really notable about this game is how this is a major Sony IP making its
02:30debut on a Nintendo console.
02:32Yes, we have been getting MLB The Show on Switch since 2022, but that was a decision
02:37likely made by MLB themselves.
02:40LEGO Horizon Adventures is Sony putting their own property on a rival platform, so this
02:46will be an interesting game to observe in sales, just as it will be fun to play.
02:51Nintendo fans will be able to experience Aloy's new adventure when it arrives sometime during
02:55the end-of-year holidays.
03:02Farmagia
03:03If you've been wanting a little more action in your cozy farming games as of late, Farmagia
03:08might scratch that itch for you.
03:11Think of this game as a massive marble cake, a blend of two rich batters coming together
03:17to create a unique flavor.
03:19One flavor, the vanilla, is kind of soothing and pleasant, like the feeling you get from
03:24playing a farming game.
03:25The other flavor, the hefty and intensely sweet chocolate, is the side of the game where
03:30you're collecting monsters to create an army so you can bulk up that vanilla some more,
03:35which can bulk up the chocolate and vice versa.
03:39And in this world where PAL World is only available on Xbox, Farmagia looks like a fun
03:44alternative for those who only own a Switch.
03:48Expect it to launch on Switch on November 1st, 2024.
03:53Phantasian Neo Dimension
03:59Another day, another Square Enix RPG in the bucket, except this one has a unique spin
04:04on things.
04:06Phantasian Neo Dimension, once a JRPG exclusive to Apple Arcade, is making its way to Nintendo
04:11Switch and other platforms this winter.
04:14In addition to its captivating story, those who played it on Apple have enjoyed the creative
04:19combat system where you can adjust the trajectory of your attacks to take out as many enemies
04:24as possible.
04:25We're not quite sure what this was doing being stuck on iPhones and iPads, but we're
04:31stoked to get our hands on this title later this year.
04:39Super Mario Party Jamboree
04:45It's safe to say that Nintendo has finally found a way to keep the party going for Mario
04:50Party fans.
04:51After the successes of Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars, we are now getting
04:56a third Mario Party for Switch, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and it looks like it might
05:01be one of the best games in the franchise.
05:04Not only are we getting a new set of five boards with their own fun gimmicks, traps,
05:09and more, we're also getting two boards remade from the first two Mario Party games.
05:15Western Land has never looked so good!
05:19With more than 110 minigames packed in, Super Mario Party Jamboree looks like yet another
05:25excellent game, and another excuse to call up friends for game night.
05:30Plus, that online support looks surprisingly strong with all those new game modes.
05:36Join the party when it arrives on October 17th, 2024.
05:45Tales of the Shire, a The Lord of the Rings game, and no, I did not say that incorrectly,
05:50that is actually what it's called.
06:01We won't lie, things have been super, super rocky for Lord of the Rings fans.
06:07Gollum was the biggest disaster to come out of gaming in 2023, and that Rings of Power
06:13show seemed to enrage more people than it did satisfy.
06:17So we can understand why some folks might feel a little burned out with Middle Earth.
06:21However, looking at Tales of the Shire, we can't help but be excited.
06:27This is the kind of game we have been wanting from legendary IPs like Lord of the Rings,
06:32games that let us live in the world or sections of the world and experience our own adventures
06:37within them.
06:38Let us play as a hobbit and do things that a normal hobbit would do like grow crops,
06:43hang out with friends, decorate our homes, and cook scrumptious meals.
06:48If this has rejuvenated your interest in Lord of the Rings, you'll be able to pick this
06:51title up on Switch sometime this holiday.
07:00Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection
07:10For us fighting game fans, this was the announcement we have been waiting years for, going all
07:15the way back to 2021 when FGC streamer MaximillianDude helped kickstart the hashtag FreeMVC2 movement.
07:24By the way, has anyone checked to make sure he's still alive?
07:28Max is still alive, right?
07:29He didn't die from the hype, right?
07:40Okay anyways, almost all of the Marvel vs. Capcom series has been stranded on ancient
07:46hardware in what few arcade cabinets remain in the wild.
07:50Now we'll all be able to relive this once-thriving franchise through Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting
07:56Collection.
07:58Collecting just one copy of this collection will grant you access to seven games from
08:03X-Men vs. Street Fighter to The Punisher to, of course, Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
08:09It's gonna take you for a ride when the collection launches on Switch and other platforms later
08:15in 2024.
08:20Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics launches on Nintendo Switch this
08:25year.
08:28Looney Tunes Wacky World of Sports
08:32Okay, so, we know this is a weird deviation from everything else we've talked about
08:45on this list and the kinds of games we typically steer towards when making these sorts of lists,
08:50but this is much more notable than the 30 seconds we saw in the Nintendo Direct let
08:54on.
08:55Once upon a time, Looney Tunes had a stellar career in video games with fantastic games
09:01like Sheep Raider, Duck Dodgers on N64, and Bugs and Taz Time Busters, but after the abysmal
09:08Acme arsenal, there has been little to no effort in reviving Looney Tunes outside of
09:13some cheap mobile games.
09:16Wacky World of Sports looks like a fresh start for a new era of Looney Tunes, one that harkens
09:21back to multiplayer titles like Space Jam, Looney Tunes Racing, and Loon's The Fight
09:26for Fame.
09:27We're optimistic, albeit cautiously, especially since Game Mill Entertainment is the publisher
09:32and they don't exactly have a great track record, but we hope that you'll join us
09:37when Wacky World of Sports launches later in 2024.
09:50THE LEGEND OF ZELDA, ECHOES OF WISDOM
10:03Funny how the series has always been known as The Legend of Zelda, yet Link always takes
10:08center stage.
10:09Well, Echoes of Wisdom is looking to change that for a moment.
10:14For once, Link is the one in trouble, and the only person left to save Hyrule is Zelda
10:20herself.
10:21But you aren't running around as Zelda with a sword and shield, no, Nintendo's got a
10:25more unusual approach to the series we know and love.
10:29Zelda comes with the ability to learn the powers of tables, chairs, and rocks to solve
10:36puzzles and defeat baddies.
10:38Trust us, it is much more interesting in execution than it may sound when said aloud, and if
10:43your curiosity has peaked after seeing the trailer, then you might be happy to know the
10:48release is surprisingly close.
10:50THE LEGEND OF ZELDA, ECHOES OF WISDOM will launch on Nintendo Switch on September 26th,
10:592024.
11:03DRAGON QUEST III HD 2D REMAKE
11:07Square Enix has long kept this title under wraps, having only made the announcement back
11:12in May 2021 with a brief snippet of gameplay, but we finally got a much more in-depth look
11:19at it during Nintendo's June 2024 Direct.
11:22Inspired by Octopath Traveler, Dragon Quest III HD 2D Remake retails the NES original
11:29with a brand new blend of 2D character sprites in beautifully rendered 3D environments.
11:35If you have been looking for a starting point in this franchise, one particular game to
11:40begin your journey across the Dragon Quest timeline, this is the one.
11:44You can play the original game on Switch for an affordable price, but if you can wait,
11:49this remake will be your entry point into one of the best franchises you could jump
11:54into, and you'll be able to play it while we wait for the remake of Dragon Quest I & II.
11:59Get ready to begin the Erdrick Trilogy on November 14th, 2024.
12:05Which of these games are you looking forward to the most?
12:07For me, it's obviously Marvel vs. Capcom Collection and Looney Tunes, but let us know
12:13down in the comments below, and be sure to subscribe to Mojo Plays for more great videos
12:18every day!
